The Belfast International Youth Hostel is a good choice if you're in Belfast and want an inexpensive place to stay. The accommodations were very clean and well-kept if a bit on the "institutional" side. The building is a newer building and security is excellent. The location is pretty good - a short 10 minute walk to central Belfast and there... More

We booked a private double room. It overlooked the front street and was very noisy at night. The room was bare and the bed was unusually high - it felt like a hospital bed. Good laundry, well equipped kitchen and attractive dining space, close to Botanic Avenue where there were plenty of restaurants and cafes although the immediate surroundings were... More

The International Youth Hostel in Belfast Northern Ireland is in a good location. We have summarized many of our thoughts in to Pros & Cons below. When you have to pay for a pad of butter for your toast and £ 2.00 for 20 minutes of WiFi, it starts to feel like you are being nickeled and dimed to death.... More

Thank you for your comments. Our basic bed price is low - from £9 a night if you book online - and we make it very clear on booking sites what is included. Our rates do not include breakfast - but the cafe is open eery morning with a wide range of options. 15 minutes daily free internet is only... More

The have a Causeway Café near the lobby which is quite cheap. Hop on Hop off & tour tickets are sold in the lobby at a discounted rate. Very... More

This hostel was very good. The location is a little out of the centre but walking distance, perhaps 20 mins walk? It isn't particularly unique but it caters for most people's needs, has very good facilities including a big, fully equipt kitchen, a nice big dining area, a canteen/cafe, various communal areas. Should be suitable for most types of travellers.... More

Stayed here last night - it was awful! Beds were thin and uncomfortable, shared bathrooms didn't even have handsoap in them, showers smelled of urine, 4-bed dorms rooms were ridiculously small, there was no room to store our luggage. The older man at reception was rude upon check-in and reluctant to help with directions. Only positives - cafe is great... More

The only 2 good things - Free parking and free internet if you have your wifi device. Showers had mold, rusty soap holders. Sputum on the walls and pubic hair not cleaned off. Room was tiny, and dated and carpet was damp, stank of urine and window had mold on the rubber watertight gasket. Rotten Staff - seem to have... More

Thank you for your comments - we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay. It seems strange that someone who has booked a Youth Hostel room would then recommend a 4 star hotel as an alternative in their tips for other travellers. It is a very different accommodation sector. On our booking sites we encourage potential guests to read... More
